I do not approve of DeSantis’ policy in Florida.

http://m.dailykos.com/stories/2021/8/17/2046438/-Ron-DeSantis-has-a-very-good-reason-to-be-pro-virus-and-it-s-exactly-what-most-people-suspected

Headline makes it not worthy of reading

The largest donor to DeSantis in 2020 was a man named Ken Griffin. Griffin is the founder and CEO of investment firm Citadel. And, as Yahoo Finance reported in June about Regeneron Pharmaceuticals:

The second largest stake is held by Citadel Investment Group, managed by Ken Griffin, which holds a $171.2 million call position   

In the last 7 days, 151,300 Floridians have tested positive for COVID-19. If every one of those patients got REGEN-COV, that one week would be 10% of all the doses that have been purchased since the outset of the pandemic. The cost of that one week of doses would be roughly $200-450 million. And even if it still performed as it did in the spring, a 70% reduction in severe illness would be less than what could be achieved had Florida simply vaccinated these residents in advance.

Still, any unvaccinated patient who tests positive for COVID-19 and displays mild symptoms should definitely take REGEN-COV if they can find it and can find a location capable of providing the IV-based treatment. So DeSantis’s declaration that’s he’s rolling out a mobile “strike team” and creating a pop-up treatment site in Jacksonville are good things. Except it is a mobile strike team. As in one. And that site in Jacksonville has just been joined by one in Orlando. NPR reports that DeSantis is “looking at” other sites, but it doesn’t seem to have happened yet.

If the mobile team is as effective as the fixed sites, then all three together have a capacity to treat about 900 patients a day. Or about 4% of the daily caseload Florida has seen over the last week. 96% of those testing positive in Florida cannot get the antibody treatment, no matter what Ron DeSantis says. .. 

Well worth reading.

I don't know who that is - sorry.

Hey, Kid, do you know who this is?

Abbott has COVID-19.

And I am sure - like so many others - that he will be fine

One more for natural immunity

He was vaccinated and is now receiving expensive monoclonal antibodies.   LoL.

Invading Afghanistan was always a bad idea...Rambo 3 showed exactly why.
Bin Laden and AQ could've been neutralised without sacrificing all those US/COW lives.
One sacrificed life was one too many.
Preventing 9/11 was as simple as having the cabin doors locked on planes.

What the US and allies should be doing is seriously embracing Trump's ideas of border security, immigration anti terror policies,...massive immigration for the sake of it should be stopped.

Those in America fearful of being replaced are rightly fearful.. of losing their jobs and their happy future those jobs would provide.
Fearful people often get angry.
Angry people in society is not a good thing to have.

Bambi, you are the world’s purest poltroon. Blarney bombast accentuating a lack of will or wit, you are jello carrying the faint imprint of the mountainous turds you live under. Why haven’t the mice gotten you yet? You must be the slowest thing on hooves in the whole outback.

He was vaccinated so, wrong.

Ignorance of the situation is not an excuse, it is merely stupid.

I live near the coast, the mice must not like the sea air.
Then there is the Great Dividing Range, mice must not like the colder air, predators, and rocky conditions.
The farm advises it has been plagued my mice, especially around the grain sheds
Not as bad as many places, baiting has kept things under control.
Britain embraced your "come one, come all, everyone in the world is a lovely person" ideas.
It was warned but refused to listen.
Now Britain has so many people on its terror watch list it has not a hope of watching them all.

"Children aren't dying" says Kid. "Unless they have other major illnesses." (paraphrased)

Just keep ignoring reality.

One in South Carolina the other day as well

How many dead children will it take for you to change your mind about policies?

Mahlagha Jaberi is a beautiful model from Iran who now lives in San Diego, California. She posted on Facebook today that freedom is the breath of life. I told her that we need to stand up for the freedom of the women of Afghanistan, and of all of the people of Afghanistan. It would be great if the women all support each other, and if they all fight for improved human rights for women. The women who escaped Iran and who came to the USA need to support the women in Afghanistan, and we must not allow Afghanistan to fall to the Taliban.



We have the French Foreign Legion, we have NATO, we have Spain, and others, and we have the United Nations, and Pope Francis is a great Pope, we must not allow Afghanistan to fall to the Taliban.

And we can send them ships full of cotton seeds, and ships full of sheep, etc, etc, etc, and we can help the people of Afghanistan to establish a good peace-time economy.

Salute,

Tony V.

[Hairy Lime]

Spain?

[bambu.]

Unfortunately, Afghanistan has already fallen to the Taliban.

Poland has sent Australia 1million doses of Pfizer covid vaccine.
These doses will be rushed into the arms of 16-40 year olds.

As many as he can eat. Also he wants to know if there’s a limit at the buffet…

If there is a limit, he blames the mean old socialists.

Peckish Kid is probably headed off to Texas right now,

Spain?

I deign to say that the rain there falls on the plain and the not-so-plain (like Ms. Jaberi) alike. I retain a few other choice words to add to this, at need.
